In this demon classroom that had turned into a slaughter feast, time seemed to stretch out, each second feeling exceptionally long and painful.
The candlelight on the wall sconces flickered, dimming and brightening, as if counting down the increasingly death-approaching exam end time.
Sitting in the back row, Huberrian gave up thinking.
She couldn't understand at all what Lanqi was trying to do.
But her previous interactions and collaboration experiences told her that it was right to temporarily not keep up with Lanqi's thoughts - at least she was still normal.
She just needed to keep an eye on Lanqi.
Her role was more like a nanny responsible for backing him up.
So under Huberrian's quiet observation, for the next short while, Lanqi temporarily stopped reporting students and lowered his head to write something on the parchment exam paper.
As if waiting for a certain moment.
Until several dozen seconds passed.
Lanqi put down his pen and naturally folded his arms, leaning back in his chair.
Once again transforming into the third invigilator.
Before long, Lanqi found a student who had successfully cheated and directly raised his hand to report them.
Huberrian silently lowered her head beside him.
Although she didn't understand what Lanqi was waiting for, she had a premonition that something abnormal was about to happen soon.
......
This time, the Dragon Demon was still closer to the reported student.
He began to stride forward to cruelly yet joyfully execute the cheating student.
Lanqi leisurely observed the whole situation, but his eyes didn't neglect to focus on the two demon invigilators.
Now.
There would be a relatively brief period of time -
The Dragon Demon, following his inner desires, would be focused on enjoying the thrill of killing, with no mind to pay attention to any student, while the Owl Demon's single perspective was limited and would also fall into a blind spot.
This was the longest period of dual invigilator blind spot that Lanqi could artificially create.
This period of time was just enough.
He mentally counted the seconds, while at the same time, a magic card appeared in the palm of his hand hidden against his body.
As if finally certain that a particular moment had arrived, Lanqi directly used the [Basic Etiquette] card in his hand, selecting a demon student diagonally in front of him to make them kneel before him!
"Thud!"
Instantly, that demon student uncontrollably twisted their body, making a kneeling motion towards Lanqi.
Lanqi also raised his hand again, shouting: "Teacher, he turned back to copy the answers!"
The Owl Demon on patrol, and the Dragon Demon who was still enjoying the afterglow of torture, both noticed this demon student who suddenly turned back and knelt on the chair looking behind.
This unfortunate demon student with green scales on his neck stared with teary eyes, his lips trembling for a long time unable to speak.
He didn't know how he had suddenly turned to look behind as if possessed, and was then immediately reported.
However, with such a big movement, there wasn't much room for denial.
So.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
As the demon student's mental state collapsed, both invigilators quickly walked towards him!
Unlike any previous time.
Before, it was always either the Dragon Demon or the Owl Demon who acted.
They seemed to follow a rule, simply judging who could reach the cheating student faster, while the other continued to maintain patrol.
Only this time.
As if by coincidence.
They both felt that they should be the one to reach the cheating student first and execute them.
So both the Owl Demon and Dragon Demon rushed to act.
"..."
Lanqi in the back row lowered his head, his index finger lightly tapping his elbow.
He continued to calculate in his mind.
The situation so far was exactly as he had calculated.
He had long since recorded the action patterns of the two invigilators based on time and calculated the movement speeds of the two demons.
Therefore, it was also easy to deduce a timing -
If he reported a student in a fixed position at these times, if the two invigilators set off simultaneously, they would also arrive at the side of the reported student at the same time!
Given the undisguised bloodlust of the two invigilators, neither would easily give up this opportunity.
Now, this situation had been successfully created by Lanqi.
......
In the aisle two rows diagonally in front of Lanqi's seat.
The Dragon Demon, who was about to raise his hand to execute the cheating student, had his wrist grabbed by the Owl Demon.
"I was first."
"Don't be too greedy."
"Let go."
"You should withdraw your hand."
The Owl Demon's words were cold, as if there was already no small amount of resentment towards the Dragon Demon in his heart.
The killing intent of the two high-level demons seemed to rise in temperature along with their anger, clearly gradually transferring towards each other.
"..."
Although Huberrian hadn't turned her head to look at the situation two rows to her right front, her heart had already started pounding wildly!
She seemed to understand a bit what Lanqi wanted to do.
She just felt that Lanqi had gone mad!
But Huberrian wasn't sure if Lanqi could completely ignite the anger on the two demon invigilators and make them go completely insane, even if he summoned his trump card [Great Love Poet] at this moment.
No matter how strong their killing intent was, the two high-level demons still maintained their rationality and followed the exam room's invigilation rules without making any rash moves.
However.
Huberrian seemed to feel Lanqi chuckling lightly.
No demon in the exam room had noticed that on the ground, there was a tiny, almost imperceptible little flying insect, which was secretly climbing up the Dragon Demon's suit along his toes.
[Friendship Forever Bug]
[Category: Summon Card]
[Quality: Blue Rare]
[Level: 1]
[Effect: Can learn to hear the target's voice, then emit speech according to the summoner's will.]
[Note: You can't speak, I'll help you say it]
This was one of the few finished cards Lanqi had made, apart from [Basic Etiquette] and [Friendly Communication].
The two demon invigilators were still threatening each other, their eyes cold, filling the exam room with tension and oppression.
Just as the atmosphere was about to reach its freezing point.
"You slow-witted stupid bird deserves to eat ※, if you don't ※※ off right now, I'll immediately tear the feathers off your head and stuff them in your ※※, just like your family's ※※ cult, you're only fit to eat ※※'s ※."
The Dragon Demon's voice suddenly transmitted from his body towards the Owl Demon.
"Roar...!"
The Dragon Demon was about to say something, opening his lips, but along with a burst of pain in his throat, he could only emit a hoarse roar.
He didn't know where the voice came from, only feeling the Owl Demon's grip on his wrist constantly increasing!
And the way the Dragon Demon widened his eyes in surprise, in the Owl Demon's eyes, looked exactly like he was staring provocatively with extreme arrogance.
......
[Friendship Forever Bug] was a magic card Lanqi created to use in conjunction with [Friendly Communication].
In direct combat, this bug, apart from buzzing and messing with the opponent's mentality as a trash talker, didn't have much substantial use.
It could easily be killed by a small area spell.
During the third round of the entrance exam against a single examiner earlier, Lanqi cautiously brought the most efficient anger-stacking incorrect healing spell cards, specializing only in the ability to duel mages.
But this time, entering a real Shadow World, he would face various complex situations, so he brought all of his "Lan's Specialty" blue rare quality level 1 cards.
"When conflicts arise between colleagues, one shouldn't just swallow their anger. Only by venting the grievances in one's heart can one find the opportunity for reconciliation," Lanqi commented leisurely, sitting in the back row with his chin propped up, watching the Dragon Demon and Owl Demon who were about to fight.
He knew that now, it was also time to let the two of them open up to each other.
